CLIP College Hour Report
Yesterday I went to a CLIP College Hour in S112. I listened to three presentations. There were several topics including sexual harassment, domestic violence and plagiarism. It started in the afternoon.
First of all, I learned about diversity. Diversity means a commitment to recognizing and appreciating others. We talked about diversity at QCC. We have many people who come around the world. They have different religions and different complexions, but they can live together and work together. We should respect disadvantaged groups. Also, we are strongly opposed to racial discrimination. It is very important to build trust, because we can develop our interpersonal skills with new ways of solving problems. Sexual harassment means unwelcome sexual contact. We each have the responsibility to stop it and also it is wrong. Some people have problems no matter whether they are women or men, rich or poor. Everyone should stop to report the problems as soon as possible.
Secondly, we watched the video about domestic violence. After the video ended, I learned domestic violence should not happen to anyone. But it does and when it does, the professor told us “what can we do”, “what can we say if we need help and to help someone”. For example, if a husband always hits his wife, his children will learn to be ill-behaved. If this video applies to us, we just need to remember two things: first, abuse is never okay; second, we are not alone. So If we know someone whom you think is being abused - a friend, family member, we need to help them and call 911.
Finally, in the end, the professor told us about plagiarism. Plagiarism refers to some information from other people, books and the internet, but it is not your own language. When we copy the information from books to our papers, we should use quotation marks to write. For example, if we have a report to write but we don’t have any idea to write, we could check some information that is exactly we want, highlight it and copy it to our paper. But it is others’ idea, this is stealing. We should practice ourselves.
In conclusion, sexual harassment, domestic violence and plagiarism are illegal. We should try our best to respect ourselves and help each other.

Group essay
In the college, we may have some difficulty which we have to solve. Last week, we had a college hour that is important for our academic lives. There were several topics including Single Stop, Career Path and A.S.A.P. These programs will help us to get some benefits and help us without charging anything.
There are many non- profit organizations in the United States. One interesting program is known as Single Stop. This program offers free services such as quick benefits screening, financial counseling, legal assistance and tax preparation. Families and individuals try to overcome barriers to attend school. It helps families to remain in their homes and offers a path to economic stability. There isn’t any specific time or date for registration. We can go to the website “www.singlestopusa.org” or contact the director. The program is good for us because we can save more money on tax preparation and health insurance. It can also give us tips on how to budget our money.
In addition, Career Path is a program which will offer opportunities to adult workers without jobs. In modern society, even though they are graduated, students can’t find jobs easily. Some college graduates choose the wrong major; others aren’t interested in their careers. However, Career Path helps you to learn a skill when you do not find a job. There are several types of occupational training provided for you, such as Manufacturing, Green Jobs, Culinary and Medical. For my part, I think studying Green Jobs makes it easier to find jobs. With the development of times, it is not only advocating environmental protection, but also saving energy. However, not everyone can take the program. If you want to join the program, you must be an adult, high school graduate and be unemployed. If you are interested in Career Path and you are an adult worker without a job, you can search for information from the website “www.cuny career path.edu”. Depending on your situation, it will help you train for different skills that get recognized credentials to find a better job. It is a good approach to help people find their dream jobs.
Finally, one program that we would like to know more about is ASAP. ASAP refers to accelerated study in associate programs. There are several ways to explain the benefits. Firstly, ASAP is designed to help motivated community college students earn their degrees as quickly as possible. Secondly, this program will provide assistance with career counseling to find a job when students graduate. Finally, financial incentives include tuition waivers. If students choose this program, they will get free monthly metro cards and free textbooks during the whole academic year. The most interesting information is how to apply. If students want to participate, they must be a NYC resident. They also must agree to study full-time every semester. Nursing and Early Childhood Education are not eligible because both of them need to take a longer time to study and this program will be recruiting for fall semester. In my opinion, ASAP will be a good program because it is a dynamic and innovative program that will help us earn our degree in a short time. In modern society, many students have responsibilities to take care of a lot of things. Some of them are not able to complete their associate degrees in a timely manner. ASAP can help us follow every step of the way until we graduate. If students are interested in this program and want to get more information about ASAP, you can go online to “www.qcc.cuny.edu/asap”.
In conclusion, college hour is good for us because we can get some useful information from it. We learned some knowledge from the lecture about Single Stop, Career Path and ASAP. They offer some different benefits when we go to college. We can choose which we want. Single Stop can help us save money, Career Path can help us to learn skills about how to find jobs, and ASAP can help us to get a degree easily.

Visit class
Admittedly, everybody knows when we go to the college, we have a lot of presentation and conversations.The most important to speak clearly and correctly. A couple weeks ago, I had a good opportunity to observe a college class. I visited Speech 5. This class is located at Medical Arts building and was from 10am to 11.50am. Professor Rada taught us how to pronounce a correct word. We contrasted two phonetic symbols between /f/ and/v/. Even through this is easy for me to understand. it was an interesting class and important .
Professor Rada is a good teacher who used a mirror to find our mistakes and also used the mirror to correct our mistakes. In my opinion, I would like to recommend adding a Speech class in the CLIP because I think pronunciation is very important for every student. As we study knowledge from textbook , not only should we understand it but also use our own language to tell clear and correctly information to listeners.
My idea
This is my second semester in CLIP. This semester is totally different like summer. when I first time studied in the CLIP I feel that not difficult for me. 3A is more higher class in the clip,i learned about how to write a essay and develop a complete essay. it is really help me and studied a lot of new social lives. It is very helpful and useful.
